Things to Do This Weekend with Westchester Kids: Festivals, Animal Encounters, Museum Exhibits and More
Its been a pretty sweltering week (lots of ice cream has been consumed) and there may be rain this weekend but don't let that stop you from getting out and having fun. School is finished for the summer and there are lots of ways to celebrate this weekend.
On Friday, Legoland Discovery Center in Ridge Hill is unveiling their newest model--a 12 foot replica of One WTC. The model is being added to Miniland, Legoland's re-creation of landmark locations and buildings throughout New York City and Westchester County. Saturday, the New Rochelle Downtown BID is hosting two events, Open Artist Studios and Grand Market. In Katonah you can check out the American Roots Music Festival. Katonah Museum of Art has 2 new exhibits opening on Sunday and Greenburgh Nature Center has an interesting twist on story time.
So whether you enjoy the weekend indoors or out, read on to see what's happening this weekend in Westchester. We've also got lots more in our event calendar.
